Two people suspected of being involved in a murder in Tennessee have been extradited to Hamilton County after they were arrested in east Blaine.
Michael Amandeus Brooks, 27, was indicted on one count of first-degree murder and Kayla Lynn Brooks, 26, was indicted on one count of accessory after the fact.
Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office records show Michael Brooks is being held in jail on a $750,000 bond, while jail data was not available for Kayla Brooks, who court records show also has gone by the last names of Townley and Daumfalk.
Michael Brooks’ indictment states he is charged with the premeditated murder of Mark Thompson on June 27.
The crime was investigated by the Soddy-Daisy Police Department, located just north of Chattanooga. Thompson was found outside of a house just before 10:30 p.m. with six gunshot wounds and stab injuries, according to News Channel 9.
Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office had contacted the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office on July 26 for assistance in locating and arresting the two, who have ties to Whatcom County, according to the affidavit of probable cause filed in Whatcom County Superior Court.
Hamilton County detectives provided Whatcom County law enforcement an address near Delta Line Road and West 95th Terrace in east Blaine they believed to be the residence of Kayla Brooks’ mother, and the pair was arrested without incident.
